Primary season 2018 has Democrats thinking big. So why does it feel so much like 2016?
These should be heady times for the party of the “resistance.” President Donald Trump is
overseeing a chaotic White House, with an approval rating mired in the 30s; the president’s
policy gyrations are making GOP members of Congress squirm; Robert Mueller’s probe is
even forcing new, bizarre plot twists.
Yet the storylines going into the first 2018 primaries, being held today in Texas, are of
overstuffed Democratic fields, and of establishment-led efforts to thin them out.
One of today’s marquee races, in the Clinton-carried Houston suburbs of Texas’ 7th
Congressional District, features the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee trying
to disqualify a progressive favorite. On cue, progressive organizations rallied to her side –
with memories still raw from the Hillary-vs.-Bernie feuds of two years ago.
Yes, Democratic enthusiasm is fueling record-setting early voting in Texas. But the
challenge for Democrats will be keeping that going for another eight months - with a whole
lot of rough-and-tumble politics being played along the way.
The RUNDOWN with MaryAlice Parks
“I like him. I like him not. I like him...”
Every Republican candidate is going to have to land on one of those answers about the
president, and with primary season now officially in full swing, the days and options for
petal-picking are ticking down.
It’s a tricky question for traditional Republicans, just when every voter is focusing in, and
the president is not making it easy for them to stick together.
Hiked tariffs, as the president is pushing, are antithetical to the free-trade pillars of the ‘old’
Grand Old Party. House Speaker Paul Ryan said as much yesterday.
Now with another senior Republican lawmaker, Sen. Thad Cochran, announcing
his retirement, and putting two U.S. Senate seats in his ruby-red Mississippi on the ballot,
Republicans will have yet another outlet for duking out their disagreements.
The TIP with Emily Goodin
Former Rep. Steve Israel, who served as Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
chairman during his congressional tenure, talked about the races that would keep him up at
night if he were running the campaign committee this cycle.
The first House primaries of the 2018 midterm take place today as Texas voters head to
the polls.
First of all, Israel pointed out: “Democrats have to hold 19 seats. People are forgetting that.
They are thinking about Republican pickups. Democrats still have to hold 19 of their
frontline seats, including six open seats.”
Democrats need to net 24 seats to retake control of the House. But some of their own seats
they need to protect include: Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey and the seats of retiring
Reps. Tim Walz and Rick Nolan in Minnesota, and Carol Shea Porter in New Hampshire.
Then, a few GOP seats opening up are on the must-win list: Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen’s in
Florida, Martha McSally’s in Arizona, Rodney Frelinghuysen’s in New Jersey, and Patrick
Meehan’s in Pennsylvania.
Finally, there are some likely GOP seats that, if Democrats win them election night, would
indicate that a blue tide is about to sweep the House: Reps. Mike Coffman’s in Colorado,
Carlos Curbelo’s in Florida, Don Bacon’s in Nebraska, Barbara Comstock’s in Virginia,
Will Hurd’s in Kentucky, and Andy Barr’s in Kentucky.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Let him arrest me.” - Former Trump adviser Sam Nunberg, in a Washington Post interview
Monday, after claiming special counsel Robert Mueller subpoenaed him to testify before a
grand jury Friday in the ongoing Russia investigation.
Initial information suggested the Army Special Forces team set out on its October mission to
meet local Nigerien leaders, only to be redirected to assist a second unit hunting for
Doundou Chefou, a militant suspected of involvement in the kidnapping of an American aid
worker. Officials say it now appears the team went after Chefou from the onset, without
outlining that intent to higher-level commanders.
As a result, commanders couldn't accurately assess the mission's risk, according to the
officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the results of the investigation
before they're publicly released. The finding will likely increase scrutiny on U.S. military
activity in Africa, particularly the role of special operations forces who've been advising and
working with local troops on the continent for years.
Four U.S. soldiers and four Nigerien troops were killed Oct. 4 about 120 miles (200
kilometers) north of Niamey, Niger's capital, when they were attacked by as many as 100
Islamic State-linked militants traveling by vehicle and carrying small arms and rocket-
propelled grenade launchers. Two other American soldiers and eight Nigerien forces were
wounded.
The investigation finds no single point of failure leading to the attack, which occurred after
the soldiers learned Chefou had left the area, checked his last known location and started for
home. It also draws no conclusion about whether villagers in Tongo Tongo, where the team
stopped for water and supplies, alerted IS militants to American forces in the area. Still,
questions remain about whether higher-level commanders — if given the chance — would
have approved or adjusted the mission, or provided additional resources that could have
helped repel the ambush.
Army Col. Rob Manning, a Pentagon spokesman, wouldn't comment on the investigation,
beyond saying it's now complete and being reviewed by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and
other senior leaders.
The other U.S. officials said the final report could have consequences for U.S. military
operations in Africa.
Gen. Thomas Waldhauser, the Africa Command's leader, is expected to recommend greater
oversight to ensure proper mission approval and risk assessment, they said. Waldhauser isn't
expected to scale back missions in Africa or remove commanders' authorities to make
decisions. He is slated to testify before a House committee Tuesday.
The incident is likely to trigger discussions about improved security measures, too, including
heavier armored vehicles, better communications and improved individual trackers to make
it easier to find missing troops.
Top Africa Command officials, led by its chief of staff, Maj. Gen. Roger Cloutier Jr., have
spent months trying to unravel the complex incident, conducting dozens of interviews across
the U.S., Europe and Africa.
U.S. and Nigerien officials say the troops received intelligence about Chefou's location and
acted on what was likely considered a fleeting chance to get him, or at least gather valuable
intelligence on the American hostage.
It's unclear where Chefou was believed to be. But before arriving at that location, the U.S.-
Nigerien team learned he had left. The troops traveled on to the site to collect any remaining
information there. A second U.S. commando team assigned to the mission was unable to go
because of weather problems.
One Nigerien official said the troops that reached the destination found food and a
motorcycle. They destroyed the motorcycle. The team then headed home, the official said,
but stopped in Tongo Tongo to get supplies.
The U.S. investigation notes the team stayed at Tongo Tongo longer than normal, but says
there is no compelling evidence to conclude a villager or anyone else deliberately delayed
their departure or betrayed them by alerting militants.
The Nigerien official said Abou Walid Sahraoui, an IS leader in the region, heard the team
had visited the site of Chefou's last known location. He then dispatched about 20 fighters to
pursue the U.S. and Nigerien troops. A larger group of militants followed later, said the
official, who also would only discuss the matter on condition of anonymity. U.S. officials
couldn't corroborate that information.
Shortly after leaving Tongo Tongo, U.S. and Nigerien forces were attacked and eventually
overrun by the IS ambush. Army Sgt. La David T. Johnson, 25, of Miami Gardens, Florida,
became separated from the others as he fought and ran for cover in the brush. He was
gunned down, but his body wasn't found until two days later.
The other three Americans killed were Staff Sgt. Bryan C. Black, 35, of Puyallup,
Washington; Staff Sgt. Jeremiah W. Johnson, 39, of Springboro, Ohio; and Staff Sgt. Dustin
M. Wright, 29, of Lyons, Georgia. Black and Wright were Army Special Forces. Johnson
and Johnson weren't Green Berets; the others were.
The U.S. troops called for help using the code "Broken Arrow," which signals they were in
imminent danger, officials said. They then followed procedures and shut down their radios
to prevent the enemies from using them. As a result, they couldn't communicate quickly with
French aircraft sent in to rescue them. Some footage of the gruesome battle, taken off one of
the U.S. soldier's helmet cameras, surfaced in recent days in an IS propaganda video posted
online.
Officials said the procedural breakdown meant the overall mission lacked the higher-level
command approval necessary to go after a senior militant. Such missions require approval
by senior Special Operations Command officers who would've been in Chad or at Africa
Command's headquarters in Germany.
The reporting failure meant those commanders lacked a complete picture of what the unit
was doing, so concluded the mission was unlikely to encounter enemy forces. Had the unit
gotten proper oversight and approvals, officials said, it might have been better equipped or
included additional personnel more capable of sustaining a fight.
A Russian transport plane has crashed in Syria killing all 26 passengers and six crew
members believed to have been on board, the defence ministry says.
The An-26 plane crashed during landing at Hmeimim airbase, near the Syrian coastal city of
Latakia, the ministry is quoted as saying by Russian media.
The plane was not fired upon, Russia says, and preliminary data suggests a technical
malfunction could have caused the crash.
An investigation is now under way.
On 7 January, Russian forces said they had foiled a drone attack on Hmeimim.
This was just a week after Russian warplanes were damaged at the airbase in a rebel mortar
attack.
 Photos 'reveal' Russia jet damage at Hmeimim base
What is known about Tuesday's crash?
The Russian defence ministry says the plane crashed at about 15:00 Moscow Time (12:00
GMT).
It says the plane went down about 500m (1640ft) from the runway.
A special commission is to be set up to investigate the crash.
What is Hmeimin?
It is Russia's main base for air strikes on rebel groups in Syria - strikes that have enabled
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces to recover much lost ground.
Russian strikes are said to have killed many civilians - though Moscow insists that it only
targets rebel "terrorist" fighters.
What are Russia's air force losses in Syria?
Russia launched its military operation in September 2015, saying it was acting upon a
request by President Assad.
France plans to fix the legal age of sexual consent as 15, meaning sex with someone younger
than that would be considered rape.
Equality Minister Marlène Schiappa welcomed the move, which follows advice from
doctors and legal experts.
Currently, prosecutors must prove sex with someone under 15 was forced in order to bring
rape charges.
The change comes amid uproar over two recent cases of men accused of having sex with 11-
year-old girls.
Under the existing legislation, if there is no violence or coercion proved, offenders may only
be charged with sexual abuse of a minor and not rape. This has a maximum sentence of five
years in prison and a fine of €75,000 (£66,000; $87,000).
Sentences are the same for sexual assaults of minors and non-minors, but rape convictions
carry much harsher punishments.
 One French woman in eight has been raped, study says
 French plans for anti-street harassment law
The government is to approve the new age limit as part of a package of other laws against
sexual violence and harassment in the coming weeks.
It had been discussing whether to set the age as 13 or 15, which is what groups fighting
violence against children had campaigned for.
Ms Schiappa told AFP news agency that she was "very glad" that the higher age was chosen.
The limit is also supported by President Emmanuel Macron.
Minister of Solidarity and Health Agnès Buzyn said setting a legal age of sexual consent
would allow a "collective awareness" and that everyone would see what was "legal and
illegal", Le Figaro newspaper reports (in French).
The UK would respond "robustly" to any evidence of Russian involvement in the collapse of
former spy Sergei Skripal, Boris Johnson has said.
Mr Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, are critically ill in hospital after being found
unconscious in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
The foreign secretary said he was not pointing fingers at this stage, but described Russia as
"a malign and disruptive force".
Russia has denied any involvement.
Counter Terrorism Police have taken over the investigation from Wiltshire Police.
But in a statement, the unit said the inquiry had not been declared a terrorist incident and
there was no risk to the wider public.
Family deaths
Mr Skripal's relatives have told the BBC Russian Service that the former spy believed the
Russian special services might come after him at any time.
His wife, elder brother and his son have died in the past two years, some in mysterious
circumstances, the family believe.
Ms Skripal is based in Moscow and has visited her father in the UK regularly, especially
over the past two years.
 How will experts know if ex-spy was poisoned?
Mr Skripal - a former Russian agent convicted of spying for Britain - and his daughter were
found slumped on a bench outside a shopping centre on Sunday afternoon.
Earlier they were seen walking through an alley leading from a Zizzi restaurant, which has
now been "secured" by police. The Bishop's Mill pub has also been cordoned off "as a
precaution".
Scientists at Porton Down - the UK's secret weapons research facility in Wiltshire - are
studying the "unknown substance" that is thought to have made the pair ill.
British politicians and officials could boycott the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
And, perhaps most significantly, in an indication the government could seek to rally
international support to make a stand against Russia, Mr Johnson said there could be a co-
ordinated response with Nato allies.
Whatever measures are eventually decided upon - if Russian involvement is proven - it's
clear relations between London and Moscow have plunged to new depths.
Mr Johnson branded Russia "a malign and disruptive force".
Strong words. But many at Westminster believe strong words are nowhere near enough.

Russia has insisted it has "no information" about what could have led to the incident, but
says it is open to co-operating with the police investigation if requested.

“We’re ignoring the corruption inside the church -- the moral corruption, the theological
corruption, because we’re trying to protect the church against what we see as these outside
threats, whether it be the gay rights lobby or abortion rights or Muslim refugees or illegal
immigrants,” Hansen told ABC News. “Meanwhile the compromises being made on the
inside have the possibility of truly destroying the credibility of American Christian witness.”
Hansen, who organizes evangelical conferences around the country and regularly writes
about his faith in the context of modern politics, says he was once heartened by the reaction
of faith leaders like Pastor James MacDonald, a member of then-candidate Trump’s
Evangelical Advisory Council who resigned in protest during the 2016 presidential
campaign after Trump was caught on tape bragging about sexual assault, calling Trump’s
remarks, “misogynistic trash.” But Hansen says he was disappointed that MacDonald was in
the minority, and that so many others chose to remain silent or justified their continued
support.
James Dobson, another of Trump’s religious advisors and founder of Family Talk radio, said
in a statement at the time that he found the comments “deplorable.” He then hailed the
Republican candidate’s policy promises in contrast to his opponent’s. “Mr. Trump promises
to support religious liberty and the dignity of the unborn. Mrs. Clinton promises she will
not,” Dobson stated. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said in an
interview that his continued support of Trump was based on “shared concerns” not “shared
values.”
Hansen penned an op-ed for The Washington Post, calling out leaders for their hypocrisy,
and calling upon a generation of younger evangelicals to take note. “An aspiring president of
the United States can brag about sexually assaulting women and still claim the backing of
many, if not most, of the older stalwarts in the Religious Right,” he wrote in October 2016.
“I would say those people who have who continued to support President Trump now, those
people did not speak out on that,” Hansen said today. “I mean, it was pretty clear if you
spoke out against President Trump you might face the wrath of his Twitter account.”
After the 2016 presidential election, the white evangelical constituency that helped propel
Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush to the White House went overwhelmingly for Trump,
voting over 80 percent for the candidate who promised to appoint a conservative Supreme
Court Justice to the bench, despite more than a dozen women accusing him of sexual assault.
Trump has denied all of those allegations.
More recently, as reports emerged of Trump’s longtime lawyer paying hush money to
Stormy Daniels, a porn star who once claimed to have had an affair with Trump, Perkins
again came forward to defend the president, explaining Trump was getting, “a mulligan.
You get a do-over here.” Falwell tweeted that, “Jesus said love our neighbors as ourselves
but never told Caesar how to run Rome,” seemingly insinuating that moral matters should be
kept separate from political ones.
“I think you’ve seen a lot of evangelical leaders, very similar to a lot of the Republican Party
leaders, who privately will tell you all kinds of things that they are disturbed by, but feel
beholden to a base that does not share their qualms and does not share their concerns,” said
Hansen. “I just think it's one of the tragedies of our moment. People willing to throw their
principles and to throw their beliefs and to throw their convictions and ultimately just the
power of the Gospel aside, in the name of what seems like a kind of temporal political
calculation.”
Hansen, who says he did not vote for Trump due to concerns about his “temperament,”
wonders if conservative Christian leaders will ever find a moral line beyond which they find
they cannot defend the president.
“I don’t think there is one,” he said. “I’ve been waiting for one. I don’t think there is one.”

The former senior campaign aide to President Trump launched a bizarre media blitz Monday
in response to a subpoena from Mueller seeking Nunberg’s appearance before a grand jury
and records of years of correspondence with people associated with Trump. Nunberg spent
several hours giving a series of fiery interviews that left observers questioning his mental
state and sobriety. The unconventional press tour culminated in an expletive-filled phone
conversation with Yahoo News in which Nunberg addressed his critics and explained what
drove him to air his grievances.
“What my point is, is that I’m sick of this s***,” Nunberg said.
Nunberg could be an important witness in Mueller’s investigation. He was one of Trump’s

Stone is a central figure in the allegations of collusion with Russia because of his
interactions with WikiLeaks, which published emails that hackers linked to Russian
intelligence stolen from Trump’s Democratic rivals.
